Thanks everyone. Just glad that the excess glue isn't a big deal.

Hi pearlescence, That's a good catch. I couldn't tell by looking at the actual pendant with my naked eye, but when it's blown up in that photo (I estimate it's about 10x bigger in the above photos), there does seem to be something up near the finding. I grabbed my macro lens and got a very...

Hi, My sister received a pearl pendant as a birthday gift. She's not familiar with pearls and I only know marginally more than her. It looks like a Tahitian pearl, but can anyone confirm? My cheap calipers aren't precise enough, but it's just under 12mm (perhaps around 11.75mm). I don't notice...

Thanks for the replies. There is an option for "with diamonds" or "without diamonds". Is the one depicted the one with diamonds? I can't tell whether the clasp is just textured gold or embedded with small diamonds. I imagine the diamonds would just be on the clasp.

Do you know if this necklace is appropriate for a bride? I don't know if there are "rules" for wedding pearls, but this set caught my eye when I was browsing through. Maybe I'll start a thread in the wedding section...

Hi pattye. My mom won't have to wait. I'm giving it to her tonight. She has a few weddings to attend in the next few weeks, so I figured these could replace her existing pearl earrings. She will probably yell at me for having purchased them :-)

Ok, time to reveal the answer. Most of you were close or got the necklace correct, while the earring guesses seemed to vary. Both were purchased from PearlParadise. Earrings are 7-8mm Freshadamas, white with rose overtones: Necklace is 8-9mm FW AAA, white (no option to choose overtones)...

I'll hold off giving the answer for a little longer to see if anyone else wants to try their hand at guessing these. HINT: the grading of the earrings and the necklace are different.

I finally got around to taking some pictures of the pearl earrings and necklace I bought for my mother. Looking only at the photos, what would you guess these are (Akoya/FW, grading, color, etc.)? I changed the background, which makes the pearls actually look quite different. Earrings...

Anyone have experience with pearls from the Amazon.com Collection? They currently have 60% off select pearl items. It's immediately clear that they are not in the same league as the pearls available from the recommended vendors, but at 60% their original price, is it worth buying? Or is this...

Thanks for all the responses. boo - those pictures were very very helpful. Based on the 7mm earrings, I thought a 7-8mm necklace would look very small. But those 7-8mm pearls look very fitting on your mother. Raisondetre - Odd, but I knew you were Asian by your bracelet shot in your White...

Hi, I'm new to these forums. I wanted to get my mother some pearls since the pearl in her existing pair of earrings fell off it's findings. It has been crudely glued back with some crazy glue, but I'm sure that's not ideal. I've read all the articles; however, I don't have any real world...
